Evil Dead Reviews, Interviews & More
You can't say that there isn't any sort of shortage when it comes to comic book movie news. Not only is Marvel in the middle of filming Captain America: The Winter Soldier, but there could be some serious development going on in the world of Doctor Strange. There's going to be a number of happy...
In a shocking upset, it appears people actually did turn out for 42, and skipped Scary Movie 5. Audiences having taste? It happens. Sometimes.
An inspirational true story versus hacky "remember this" jokes. On merits, 42 should be the clear winner this weekend, but Scary Movie 5 gives ample evidence that merit is generally not what gets people into theaters these days.
Normally April is one of the weakest box office months of the year, as the season take a breath between the March hits and the big summer movies that start the first week of May. But not this year. The Evil Dead remake leads a crowded field of strong performers this weekend, and with Oblivion and Pain and Gain, we...
It's hard to want to talk numbers after the recent announcement of Roger Ebert's passing. He was as important to modern film culture as any living filmmaker. This weekend brings Evil Dead and the 3D reissue of Jurassic Park, but there will likely be a pall over this weekend as cineastes remember one of the most famous critics to ever discuss...
Though Hollywood horror remake frenzy has died down (since most of the classics have been redone), there was always a worry that someone would remake Sam Raimi's The Evil Dead. Raimi was protective of his first film, and if it was going to be updated, he wanted control. And so Fede Alvarez was brought on, Raimi produced it, and now there's Evil...
With the news that Fede Alvarez’s Evil Dead remake would be getting its very own Evil Dead 2, and that Sam Raimi’s own original franchise would be getting an Army of Darkness 2 (following his original Evil Dead 1, Evil Dead 2, and Army of Darkness, a.k.a.,...
One of the first major films to be shown off at this year's SXSW Film Festival in Austin, Texas was the highly anticipated reboot to the Evil Dead franchise. The remake already caught audiences' attention, not only because they were starting from the beginning on a horror movie trilogy loved by many, but due to its disturbing scenes shown off in the trailer. If a...
It's surprising that a film that - on the surface - seemed like a "don't touch" remake of a horror classic has become one of our most anticipated films of the year, but such is Evil Dead, Fede Alvarez‘s take on the classic low-budget Sam Raimi film. We're still a couple weeks away from the film's release, but now there's new images and a new poster to get us...
South by Southwest's annual film festival and concert series has - like its fall cousin Fantastic Fest - become one of the coolest festivals around. Where Sundance may launch the biggest independent films of the years, and places like Cannes and Toronto highlights the best in foreign films, and preview the film's big Oscar pictures, SXSW have carved a spot out as the one where you're going to...
By this point you've all seen the bloody R-rated trailer for the impressive looking Evil Dead remake. While you're witnessing a taste of some of the horrific events that will happen to our main characters, surely you were wondering whether or not some of those visual effects were real or merely just CGI. Well, director Fede Alvarez assures us all that...
Haven’t seen the new red band trailer for Fede Alvarez’s remake of Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead yet? Well, we can save you some time: imagine a three-minute geyser exploding with blood, and just behind that explosion of bloody goo, you can kind of see a movie playing on a screen. That’s the trailer. Not enough for you? Ok, well check it out after the jump. ...
Bruce Campbell is known for being a bit of a “straight shooter," and addressing his audience with a frankness that can be quite refreshing. So it was a good sign when we heard that he’s recently been raving about next year’s Evil Dead remake in an interview with Digital Spy.
I love the relationship between Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell. They're one of the many director, actor teams in Hollywood who have a professional relationship that spans over decades. We've all heard about Raimi's highly anticipated sequel to his classic and career defining, Evil Dead franchise. As of now, he's got a script in the...
***Update: Check out our new Sam Raimi interview for Drag Me to Hell now***
During an interview with Empire magazine Sam Raimi confirmed that he and his brother have been working on Evil Dead 4. So far they're only seven pages into the project, but you have got to start somewhere!
Raimi said during the...
Sam Raimi is in the business of making franchises that stick. We all know that he and film star Tobey Maguire have signed on for a fourth Spiderman film, and now we may see the same revival for Raimi’s Evil Dead series. According to MTV, the director is planning on a fourth installment whether long time collaborator Bruce Campbell wants to...
Sam Raimi is set to spin another thread in the already dense web of Spider-Man flicks.
The director announced last week that Spider-Man 4 will be released May 6, 2011, but shot down reports that Sony Pictures was working on the fifth installation of the series simultaneously. Raimi said that he and the...
In the first Horror 101 post I listed ten films the average horror fan may not have seen but should. In this "lesson" I'll discuss writer HP Lovecraft.
What does a horror writer from the 20's and 30's have to do with horror films today? In the case of Lovecraft, a lot. I have not written much about his life and works here, that's what Wikipedia is for. He wrote about horrific...
